The atmosphere consists of 4 layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where we live and where weather happens. Temperature in this layer generally decreases with height. The boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere is called the tropopause. Above the tropopause lies the stratosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height. This is because the stratosphere houses the ozone layer. The ozone layer is warm because it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere.This layer also contains ratios of nitrogen and oxygen similar to the troposphere, except the concentrations are 1000 times less and there is little water vapor there, so the air is too thin for weather to occur. The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height because it is being directly heated by the sun.

I got this info from North Carolina Climate Office.

In complete sentences, discuss the three major religions in Western Europe. Which is the most dominant religion, and how has it
weeeeeb [17]

The tree largest religions in Western Europe are the Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Depending on the county in Western Europe, there are differences in the type of Christianity type practiced, with the Catholicism and Protestantism being the most dominant ones. The Islam is the second largest religion, relatively new in this part of the continent and also a relatively quick growing one. The Judaism is the third largest religion in this part of Europe, but it has much less followers than the top two. The atheism is worth mentioning, despite not being a religion but the opposite of it, as the non-religious population in Western Europe is actually the second largest one, in front of the Islam and Judaism.

The culture of this region has largely been shaped and set on the foundations of the Christianity, mostly the Catholicism, with later diverging fraction of it. The Church has played a big role in the societies, politics, economy of this region for almost two millenniums, so it is carved in the cultural aspects of the nations living there.
